James Street Tavern

Pricey dive bar with NO ATMOSPHERE . I never knew a good person or bartender named DANA and . I still don't after tonight. Heard some fair reviews of this plans but they weren't here for this experience. According to others must be soooo much better every other day?? Better atmosphere elsewhere I guarantee!

Very nice spot! Drinks are good! Didn't know this place was there. I ordered breaded wings, were a bit spicy but just enough, was good, Also ordered Pizza. Pizza was really good. We definitely returned. PS there is smoking allowed. I do not smoke and fortunately it wasn't bothersome at least when I was there.

I've been at the James Street (JST) several thousand times since it opened in 2004. The food (pizza, burgers, subs and wings primarily) is always tasty. It has become kind of a unicorn as one of two or three locally owned bars still open in Monroeville. The staff are all friendly and know their stuff. The remodel during the COVID lockdown really brightened up the place.

Wings were awesome , fries were sensational. Loved the place , great vibe and cool setting. Would definitely come again but due to them having smoking it just bothered me too much , so take out would always be an option. Great owner

such cheap drinks such nice bartender lady & such nice vibes in here. 10/10 recommend for anyone any age group looking for an underground dive bar experience without the creeps that frequent the ones in the city!

Known by sons crew as The Jimmy, this is a local Monroeville bar located down under the Laundromat. Down. Under.It's def a dive and, therefore, has fantastic bar food. The drink prices cannot be beat and the service is prompt, efficient and very casual. "Can you make a XXX?" might be met with "Sure can! What's in it?"The mix of patrons is crazy: pick a generation and you'll find plenty at The Jimmy - I see my sons, my parents and my peers - the only other time this phenomenon occurs is at the funeral home. This place is loud and has lots of TV's... big digital jukebox... blipping dart board... impromptu dancing.Wear something smoke resistant as this is a dimly lit bar-bar. Kinda tucked in right before you cross the line into Turtle Creek.

Always good food and drinks. Lively and fun crowd. The bar staff are attentive and on their game.

This is an interesting place, and a hard one to review. The food was hot, tasty and the price was great, staff friendly and attentive. Other patrons where cold, loud (no game was on) and uninviting. We recently moved to the area and have been looking for a new little place to call home, sadly this didn't feel like it. You can smoke in the place which is not appealing to me but they do seem to have a very good smoke eater and it looks and feels clean. Maybe we will give them another try... besides the cold shoulder I liked this little hole in the wall. ( if entering from the front, you will see just how literal that is )

Havent been here in so long but did have great food here about a year ago. Friendlyvservice. Bathrooms were clean and for the drowd in there being busy,my servicecwas great. Bar maid was very nice worth tipping,snd it was fun. Went in on Friday night,I'd go in again. Just having friends in later this week,planning to take them there as they drink a bit,I want the food. Its a good place to take the party ppl in your life. I dont but worth going as I am a foody. Keep ip the hood service and food

Went there on a Thursday night looking for Todd. Another older lady was there, I was super nice asked if Todd was there she said no. I gave her my ID asked for a Blue Moon draft gave her 120% tip and drank my beer. Later after my first beer, I asked for a second one and the old woman refused to serve me. It was my first beer in weeks, I had shown my ID and tipped her. I don't know why she wouldn't serve me again. I wasn't drunk, was my first place of the night after I got off of work. I asked if she was serious and she said yes, I have no idea why she would treat me like that. I just wanted to order food and another drink. Must of been cause she was a hater. Won't go on a Thursday night again. Todd is the best bartender there, she was just a hater cause I asked for him.
